While I had no memory of the previous books, reading this one made it all make sense again and I liked where it went. I liked the characters and the way the book ended. It was well written but I felt like the world/magic system could have been better written?

I did feel a bit lost with some stuff going on, but I did enjoy the story and I'm glad I finished it. - Full review maybe, but probably not.
** I know about the details about the author, but I bought the series before everything happened, and I wanted to finish the series. I am not acknowledgable about everything, so I would research on your own.**

Well, nothing like downloading a book from the library on your to read list and then learning after that the author has a history of bullying (BIPOC authors, book bloggers) and anti-semitism in their books… I suppose this is a lesson that I should skim the reviews before downloading. I am not familiar enough with Jewish history to have recognized the anti-semitic content on my own, but other reviewers have explicitly outlined it.
